👯‍♂️ Behavioral Synchrony

Why doing things together makes habits stronger and how Jolt taps into that rhythm.

Introduction

Behavioural Synchrony is the phenomenon where people who perform activities in sync like walking, exercising, or meditating together can build deeper social bonds, accountability, and emotional alignment.

It’s why group workouts feel more energising, or why you're more likely to stick to something when a friend is doing it too.

Synchrony isn’t just social, it’s neurological. Our brains release oxytocin (the “bonding chemical”) when we act in rhythm with others.

Why it matters to you

It’s hard to build habits in isolation:

You set a goal, but no one’s watching.
You miss a day, and no one cares.
You lose motivation, and there’s no one to pull you back.

When you commit to a goal with others, your chances of follow-through skyrocket.

And when you see others showing up daily, you want to match their energy.

That’s the power of behavioral synchrony. It makes self-control a shared experience.

How Jolt uses this science to help you

Jolt turns solo routines into collective momentum:

1. Partner & Group Challenges

Whether it's a reading streak, digital detox, or a step count goal ; you can join with others and track each other's progress.

→ This shared visibility drives accountability, motivation, and belonging.
2. Visual Proof & Social Feed

Users upload photo proof for group challenges creating a daily stream of people in action.

→ Seeing others complete their tasks reinforces your own habit loop: "They showed up. I will too."

Synchrony builds community.

Community builds consistency.

And consistency builds change.
